TRUNCATE-TB (Two-month Regimens Using Novel Combinations to Augment Treatment Effectiveness for drug-sensitive Tuberculosis) is a ground-breaking Phase 3 TB treatment regimen shortening trial, which will recruit over 1,000 patients in multiple Asian countries. The aim of this study is to determine whether a strategy of treating drug-sensitive TB for 2 months with novel combination regimens and re-treating relapses with a 6 month course of standard treatment will be non-inferior to the standard 6 month treatment / 6-month re-treatment approach.
The trial is sponsored by University College London (UCL) and funded by Medical Research Council (MRC)/Wellcome Trust/Department for International Development (DfID) (UK) and National Medical Research Council (NMRC) (Singapore). The trial will be managed by National University Singapore (NUS) and coordinated by Singapore Clinical Research Institute (SCRI).
TRUNCATE-TB is one of the key projects under SPRINT-TB's Theme 3.
